Gil Rendle says in the intro that this conversation with Father Greg Boyle is “one of the richest conversations I've ever been in.” How grateful we are to have recorded this beautiful and rich back and forth between Gil, Rev. Lisa Greenwood, Father Boyle and Rev. Justin Coleman! Father Boyle's approach to gang intervention rehabilitation and re-entry at his organization Homeboy Industries is not really about providing services, although they do provide holistic services from education to tattoo removal. The real heart of the work is relationship and creating a culture of kinship, tenderness, and joy. Boyle returns again and again to the heart of God and the heart of Jesus, inviting us again and again to embrace our own belovedness and everyone else's belovedness. In this conversation… Gil shares the difference between the work of improving and the work of creating (01:06) The short game of trying experiments and the long game of deep institutional work (04:39) Father Boyle's vocational journey that led him to start Homeboy Industries (16:41) Providing services vs being in relationship (22:35) The theology that guides Father Boyle (31:58) When there is so much grief and pain, how do you not get caught up in a constant cycle of desolation? (36:54) Creating a culture of the Gospel (42:03) Why Father Boyle says “Gang members have taught me everything of value.” (50:41) QUOTES “We're always getting ahead of ourselves, right? Just about tomorrow or lamenting what I did yesterday. Ouch. Why did I say that? And as opposed to staying anchored in the present moment. I think that's where the joy is.” -Father Boyle [27:41] “Don't just look at the services. Look at the language that's being used. Look at the approach towards the other person.” -Rev. Coleman [48:54] Father Greg Boyle's bio Gregory Boyle is an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, the White House named Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. He is the acclaimed author of Tattoos on the Heart and Barking to the Choir. The Whole Language is his third book, and all net proceeds go to Homeboy Industries. Rev. Justin Coleman's bio Justin grew up in Texas, and attended Southern Methodist University, graduating in 2000 with a major in religious studies. He, too, was highly active in SMU's Wesley Foundation, and served as Associate Pastor at SMU's Wesley Foundation from 2001 to 2003 as he began seminary studies at SMU's Perkins School of Theology. Justin transferred to Duke Divinity School in 2003 and graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2005. Justin's first clergy appointment was to University UMC, as an intern in 2004 and then as Associate Pastor from 2005 to 2007. In 2007, Justin was called back to the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, where he is an elder, and was appointed Associate Pastor at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. For six years from 2008 to 2014, Justin served as the Executive and Lead Pastor of the Gethsemane Campus of St. Luke's Church and led it through a remarkable period of growth in ministry and service to its community. From 2014 to June 2017 Justin served as the Chief Ministry Officer of the United Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee. During this time, he has also continued to frequently offer lectures, sermons, and lead worship. RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Read Gil Rendle's paper “Jacob's Bones” for free off our TMF website here.

Ouch! The US inflation data disappointed yesterday, and dashed hopes of seeing a dovish pivot regarding the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy in the foreseeable future The US 2-year yield spiked more than 5% to 3.80%, the US dollar index jumped 1.50%, and equities slumped. The S&P500 futures fell free as soon as we saw the inflation print come in, and the index closed the session 4.30% lower, having slipped below the 4000 mark. Gold tipped a toe below the $1700 level posterior to the US inflation data and is trying to find ground around this level this morning. Two major catalyzers of the two bullish price actions since summer, recession chatter and softening inflation, have now both fallen. The strong inflation data, which boosted the Fed hawks, also weighed on the global growth prospects sending the barrel of American crude down to $81 first. But oil managed to recover losses on news that the US would refill the Strategic Oil Reserves at prices below $80 per barrel. Later today, the US will reveal the latest producer price index. The PPI is expected to have eased from 9.8% to 8.8% in August. A sufficiently soft figure could spray some water on fire, but will hardly reverse the bad mood. The dollar will likely remain strong, equities, gold and cryptocurrencies will likely remain under pressure until investors find another glimpse of hope, somewhere in the dark.

The offense led by Brian Ferentz had another very bad performance on Saturday in a loss to the in-state rival. Iowa's offense ranks last or close to last in every offensive category. Changes are needed now or this could be one looooong season once the Big Ten starts!

The guys are back. Notre Dame lost as a top-10 team to Marshall at home. Marcus Freeman is 0-3 as a head coach. We tried to talk about it. It was an exercise. Tune in if you need some therapy, too.
Today's Reading: Luke 10:21-37Daily Lectionary: 2 Chronicles 29:1-24; Philippians 3:1-21 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The lawyer thinks he knows it all. He tries to test Jesus to see how smart He is, to see if Jesus is any match for him. Little does he know that he is asking the wrong question to the wrong person. He asks, "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25) Jesus tells him what he must do if he wants to inherit eternal life. If he wants to earn his way into heaven, if you want to earn your way into heaven, be like the good Samaritan. You must have compassion on the poor, downtrodden, and needy. You must care for them, give them everything they need, the donkey you're riding on and the shirt off your back, and pay the full price to restore their life. Nothing short of doing everything will suffice.Ouch. Jesus brings the full weight and hammer of the Law down on this lawyer. He wants to be put under the Law, so Jesus brings the Law. The Law beats him and convicts him down to its last detail, that even a foreign Samaritan outsider is better than this lawyer. He is stripped of the self-righteousness he is seeking and left in a ditch to die. That's what the Law does to us, too. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10:27).Thanks be to God for that Samaritan, that man passing by who has come from a foreign place to pick us up and restore our life. He takes our broken sinfulness, our self-righteousness, and carries them for us. He bears the wounds and carries the scars that our sins make in His body for us. He carries us to the inn of His Church where He nurses us back to health and life by washing our wounds in the waters of Holy Baptism, by feeding and nourishing us not just with bread and wine but with every Word that comes from the mouth of God, even His very Body and Blood. He pays the full price for our lives not with gold or silver, but with His holy precious blood and His innocent suffering and death that we might be His own, and that by His work we might inherit eternal life. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Almighty and everlasting God, give us an increase of faith, hope, and charity; and that we may obtain what You have promised, make us love what You have commanded; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Bible Reading: Matthew 6:26; 10:29-31"Ouch!" yelled Violet, tripping headlong into a pile of boxes that lined the hallway. Moving day was only five days away, and the house was a mess. She slowly untangled herself and got to her feet. "I hate moving," she said. "I don't want to leave my friends. I especially don't want to go to another school!"Mom sighed. "I know, honey," she said, "but we've prayed about it, and your dad and I think this is God's will for our family right now.""But it's so hard," Violet said as she blinked back tears.Mom wrapped her arms around her daughter. "I know--it's hard for all of us. But we can trust God even when we don't understand." Mom pointed toward the window. "Do you see that sparrow on the feeder in the backyard, Violet?"Violet sniffed. "Yes.""A sparrow is just a tiny little bird," said Mom. "There are millions of them. No one pays much attention to a sparrow. But Jesus said God takes care of those little birds--He even knows when each one dies. He reminds us that He loves us and values us much more than the sparrows. That's one reason we know He'll take good care of us." "Then…do you think God will help me make new friends?" Violet asked."I'm sure He will," Mom replied. "He knows you need friends. Have you talked to Him about it?"Violet shook her head. "No, but I will.""Good," said Mom. "Jesus cares about you and understands what you're going through. He knows how hard it is to move to a new place--after all, He left heaven and came to earth as a human to die for our sins!"Violet smiled. "That was probably the biggest move in history, wasn't it?""It was!" Mom agreed. "You can talk to Him anytime and bring your worries to Him in prayer. He understands, and He'll be with you at your new school and help you be a friend to others."Violet wiped her eyes. "Okay. I'll remember that." She smiled and picked up an empty box. "I think I'll go tell Him how I'm feeling while I pack some more of my things!" -Toni VandenAkkerHow About You?Are you facing something difficult in your life? Perhaps you're starting a new school, or your family situation has changed. Remember that God loves you and promises to take care of you. Jesus understands what you're going through and wants to help you, so tell Him about your worries. He cares about you and promises to be with you in everything you face.Today's Key Verse:Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (NLT) (1 Peter 5:7)Today's Key Thought:Jesus cares and understands

It was a nasty day. The local market skidded to fresh seven-week lows with every single sector except healthcare and tech hammered.Apparently, strong data and free-spending governments are doing nothing to deter speculation about elevated inflation and even more aggressive rate hikes. The resilience in long duration names came despite another sharp uplift in bond yields domestically and abroad.Miners were hit hard as commodity prices fell as Chinese trade data showed demand faltered at home and abroad; pressure came through in iron ore, copper and gold. BHP and Rio Tinto ended down 2.3% and 1.5% respectively. Fortescue suffered even larger falls down 2.55%.Energy was bruised with the sector suffering its worst losses in a two months. Concerns about demand destruction are seemingly outweighing the OPEC+ cut for now. Woodside finished down 3.4%Elders and Graincorp did well. Another bright spot was Metcash, after telling shareholders at its AGM sales are up in the first few weeks of FY23, Citi subsequently saying the Metcash update is evidence of resilience in consumer spending.Our top videos:Bigger not necessarily better; Simon Conn picks three baby blue chipsCarl Capolingua has some shorts to shareOut with the old...

About John Moussan and Great White Media: DEPENDENCE ON BIG TECH & LOSING AD MONEY You know how DTC Health & Beauty Shopify brands have astronomical ad spend and are at the mercy of social media, SEO, or Amazon to generate sales and increase revenue?

Asking is awkward. We stumble around our words or avoid asking because sometimes it seems easier to do without. There are times when I say to myself... "I don't really need help; I can handle this on my own." Then I work twice as hard while being mad about doing it all myself. Or when I want to have a conversation with someone I perceive as having more power than me, I don't ask because I think, "I'll be bothering them." I miss the opportunity to connect and learn. Or sometimes it's as simple as wanting my hubby to take out the trash but not asking because "He's just supposed to know that's what I want." Can you relate? Asking can be challenging because it makes us feel vulnerable. It's a hit to the ego, reminding us that we don't know everything, and we need other people to help. Ouch. The good news is that you can get better at asking and get more of what you want. I'll walk through my process. 1. Determine what you want. Seriously, this is the first step. Do yourself and the other person/people a favor by first figuring out what you need/want. 2. Determine the best person to ask. In business, this is the person with decision-making power. If you don't know who has the power, ask around first. You'll save yourself time and frustration. 3. Choose the appropriate time and channel. This is key if you're making a big ask, e.g., a raise, funding for a project, approval for a new hire; you want to do that face to face or voice to voice at a time that makes sense for the other person. Save email, text, and other messaging apps for simple requests. 4. Make the ask. Muster up your courage and get right to it. Lead with what you need/want. Be ready for questions and let go of the outcome. Sometimes no means not yet. I can't guarantee you that you'll get what you want if you follow these steps. I can guarantee that the more you practice, the better you'll get. Give these and try and let me know how they work for you. I'm rooting for you. Sign up for my weekly newsletter here.

How do you know if your organization is ready to give peer-to-peer feedback? How does feedback delivery need to be adjusted for remote vs. in person environments? Often times, organizations will launch a new peer-to-peer feedback initiative, without first training employees on what good feedback looks like and feels like. Toxic feedback is much more damaging to workplace morale than a culture where no feedback is given at all. However, we know that once we nail giving and receiving healthy feedback - organizations thrive. If you're wondering how to assess where your organization is at in terms of maturity around peer-to-peer feedback, this is the episode for you. Our host, Denise Cooper is interviewed by Alexa Greer on the ins and outs of feedback best practices to bring feedback conversations from "Ouch" to "Oh my". THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWHow do you assess if your organization is ready for peer-to-peer feedback? What is your maturity around feedback? [3:55] Skilled feedback vs unskilled feedback. I've had situations where I've gotten feedback from someone that wasn't very helpful or kind. [13:55] How does an organization prepare their teams to give skilled feedback?

Jerky is one of those things that is simple to make, yet most people settle on purchasing those over-priced and chemically-laiden bags at the local grocery store for $15, $20, even $25 a pound (OUCH!). Well, today we are going to be making a batch of Killer Beef jerky that will cost you literally less than $5/pound all in, and believe me when I say that a pound of jerky will last you a good amount of time…unless you have kids that eat it like candy…which is usually the case in our household.

Welcome to season 2 of the Determined to Dance podcast. I pray that you'll be uplifted, encouraged, and will move forward each and every day. Today's episode, Praying Like Jesus: When Temptation Comes, focuses on prayer, being addicted to approval, and forgiveness. Show Notes: Praying Like Jesus: When Temptation Comes I am human. I want people to like me. I struggle with approval addiction. The book by Joyce Meyer of the same name stripped me bare when I read it. I want people to be proud of me and even brag on me. I am human. My problem is turning to people for approval instead of God. Ouch. Jesus pointed out people who did charitable acts to be seen in Matthew 6:1-4: “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” NKJV Jesus said these people received their reward from men. If done in secret, God rewards greatly. Why would I think man's rewards would be greater than God's? Jesus goes on in verses 5-8 to like it to prayer: “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” NKJV Wow. How does Jesus say to pray? First, go into your room and shut the door. Shut out distractions. Then, pray to the Father. Pour it all out to Him in private. And lastly, don't repeat the same thing, using many words to get God to hear you. He does hear from the first and knows what you need. Keep to the point in your own words. Jesus takes prayer one step further in verses 14 and 15: “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” NLT He clearly states that if we want God to forgive us, we must forgive others. And I often wrestle with forgiving others, especially if they hurt my children or grandchildren. I prefer Matthew 18:6: “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” But way back in Matthew 6, Jesus says forgiveness in necessary. Vital. The only way. In a book by Tim Sledge called Making Peace with Your Past, Sledge says, “Forgiveness means that you no longer regard the offending person as indebted to you.” How can I release someone and forgive? Give the person and the offense to God. Admit how you feel because God knows anyway. Write in a journal or confide in a trusted friend. Then hand it over. You might have to repeat this step often. Ask God to help you to forgive. You can't forgive without God guiding you, step by step, to the place you no longer feel the need for revenge. Make a decision to forgive. Recall how God has forgiven you. Back it with scripture about forgiveness and forgiven people. Pray for the offender. It is super hard at first, but I truly believe that no one, not the most terrible person,

I thought it was time to do a little series, and I'm excited to talk with you about the lies we tell at work because we lie, ya know? Now there are all kinds of lies that we tell, but I think some of the most tragic lies we tell are the ones we tell ourselves. It's often these lies that keep us from communicating effectively with each other. They keep us from having conversations that would make our work (and lives) easier in the long run. The first line I'm tackling is; "It's easier if I just do it myself." Ohhhhhh, it's a good one. I know how to do XYZ best, I've been doing it longer, I can do it better, etc., etc. If they do it and screw up, it will take more work to fix in the long run. Oh, sure, it may seem easier to do it yourself, and maybe you do save time in the long run. But are you telling yourself the truth? When you say, "It's easier to do it myself," are you saying... I don't trust those around me to do the job right. Ouch. If you find yourself saying, "It's easier if I just do it myself." Stop before going further and ask if that's true. Really true. Sure, it might save you time in the short run, but what's it costing you long term? Are you creating dependents when you want others to be independent? Are you stifling someone else's growth and development because you don't want to spend the time teaching them? Is this a pride issue for you? Do you think that just because you do something well that others can't, or even worse, they might be able to do it better than you? Are you crushing team creativity because you believe a leader needs to know "everything?". What does it say to your team, colleagues, and leaders when you are unwilling or unable to ask for or let someone else help? These are tough questions that I can't answer for you. Only you can. I can tell you what I've learned for myself and from coaching others. And that's when I say, "It's easier to do it myself." What I mean is I'm not willing to trust someone else to do the work or take the time to teach someone else to do the work, or I'm afraid to let someone else fail on my watch because it might reflect poorly on me. These are hard truths, and it's important to talk about them because we don't get better when we tell ourselves lies. We get better when we recognize that we're willing to let go, willing to teach, and willing to fail; we gain so much more than when we try to do it all on our own. That's it for today.

Did your parent ever rip off a Band-Aid? It would hurt for just a second but it sure beat the torture of slowly removing a well-stuck Band-Aid. Sometimes we are going through a storm and we feel like we are being tortured but Jesus reminds us to “Be filled with joy because I have overcome the world.” God cares for us and in order for him to increase, we must decrease. It may feel like a band-aid being ripped off but God's got you.

We can’t wait to fellowship, sing Psalms, and celebrate God’s goodness in Knoxville October 6-8. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/2/company-pay-millions-employees-over-denying-religi/ Company to pay millions to employees over denying religious exemptions to COVID-19 shots A Chicago-area hospital system could pay more than $10 million for denying employees religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, according to a proposed settlement negotiation pending before an Illinois federal court. Lawyers for the plaintiffs claim this is the first class-action settlement over religious discrimination and the COVID-19 vaccines. A judge will hold a hearing to review the payout by NorthShore University HealthSystem later this month. More than a dozen employees sued in October, alleging a violation of civil rights after the company refused to give religious accommodations to those seeking an opt-out from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate issued last year. “Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII. It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects health care workers. Health-care workers are heroes who daily give their lives to protect and treat their patients. They are needed now more than ever,” said Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel which represented the employees. The class size, depending on the judge’s decision to certify the class and approve the settlement, could be more than 500 employees who were either forced into taking the shot against their religious beliefs — or who refused to do so and were terminated. More of this please! https://nypost.com/2022/08/02/reality-bytes-coddled-tech-staffers-working-harder-is-job-no-1/ Reality ‘bytes’ coddled tech staffers: Working harder is job No. 1! The world’s tech titans are having panic attacks: It turns out that those Millennials and Gen-Z’ers who provide the infrastructure that make our Internet and social media work don’t want to work too hard. It’s a rude awakening for the woke tech cognoscenti who long showered their beloved employees with lots of love — unlimited sick days, flexible work-from-home rules, ping-pong in the office, craft beers and the like. When times were flush, it just wasn’t that easy finding college grads who can write endless amounts of code and siphon all that user information from customer accounts that generated all those profits. The tech gravy train is now suffering from a serious bout of recession-induced panic. Profits are falling and so are stock valuations of what was once the most valuable piece of Corporate America. The dudes who run our tech industry are looking for ways to make up the difference, discovering that those pampered brats are a pretty unproductive and increasingly unaffordable lot as times get tough. That’s why the normally flaccid Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed a trace of testosterone-fueled anger during a company-wide town hall last month. An employee asked about extended vacation time as Facebook (now formally called Meta for reasons no one can fathom) was preparing to announce weak ads sales, lower earnings and cratering revenues. “Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” Zuckerberg snapped. Ouch. Google CEO Sundar Pichai was a bit more diplomatic, in a techie and creative kind of way. He recently told employees he’s creating a weird initiative called “Simplicity Sprint” to cut costs as Google suffers declines in profits and stock price. Employees are being asked how to make Google more productive because “it’s clear we are facing a challenging macro environment with more uncertainty ahead,” he said, according to CNBC. It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to conclude Pichai is basically asking employees how he and his team can weed out their unproductive colleagues. Can’t wait to hear their thoughts.

CASEL is sponsored by the Allstate Foundation. The Queer Mathematics Teacher is an educational consulting firm that seeks to promote “queer mathematics” in American K-12 classrooms. The firm sells a book titled “Talking about LGBTQ+ Identity,” which includes chapters titled “The Gender Unicorn,” “How Do I Talk About LGBTQ+ Identity With My Students,” and “What if I Receive Pushback?” The firm also offers coaching services to teachers, which include curriculum design, district-wide audits, and professional development workshops. The site claims, “The ability to consider sexuality irrelevant in the mathematics context is a heteronormatively privileged position” and notes that some areas of expertise include “queer pedagogy,” “teaching mathematics for social justice,” “Fostering Students’ Growth Mindset (While Advocating for Systemic Change),” and “humanizing Mathematics Education for LGBTQ+ Students.” Waid confesses in her article that math used to be a source of anxiety for her, which she links with her sexuality. She writes, “I associated mathematics with profound anxiety, intricately tied to my fears of confronting my queer identity.” The left-wing activist even goes so far as to suggest that activist educators should teach critical race theory and gender theory, even if it means breaking the law. Waid writes, “I implore my colleagues to ask: How can we work within (or outside) the confines of these laws to center Transformative SEL and student thriving in our teaching?” One lesson, called “Progress Pride Flag,” is intended for elementary school children. It showcases a pride flag featuring a triangle with black, brown, and other colors that represent the transgender movement and suggests that educator-activists ask students questions like “What does this symbol represent?” Another lesson plan, intended for middle school students and titled “Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation by Generation,” asks children to speculate as to why there has been an increase in LGBT self-identification among younger generations. Well you heard it here first, Math is gay. Moving on… https://thepostmillennial.com/california-to-fund-heroin-injection-sites-in-los-angeles-oakland-and-san-francisco?utm_campaign=64487 California to fund heroin injection sites in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco A bill passed Monday in the California legislature that would enable Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco to open heroin injection sites for drug users is headed to Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's desk for signature. Senate Bill 57 by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) passed in the Senate by a margin of 21-11. The bill had previously passed the Assembly in June on a 42-29 vote. Under the new legislation, the three cities would be allowed to establish the sites. The legislature has previously approved legislation allowing safe heroin injection sites in 2018, but the bill was vetoed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat. The bill would authorize cities and counties to establish "safe consumption sites" where addicts could use illegal narcotics under supervision. Those accessing the "hygienic space supervised by trained staff" could consume pre-obtained drugs. Program staff would be trained to administer an "opioid antagonist" in the event of an overdose. Under federal law, it is currently a felony to operate a space to distribute or use a controlled substance. President Joe Biden co-authored the federal statute during his time as a senator. https://twitter.com/i/status/1420619575599669248 - Play Video Of course, now Biden is changing his tune on this topic… I wonder why? It couldn’t have anything to do with his son could it? If signed by Newsom, the pilot program would operate for five years, ending in 2028. In a written statement, Wiener claimed the sites are needed due to rising "dramatic and preventable" fatal overdoses in San Francisco and across the country. 711 people died from overdoses in San Francisco in 2020, followed by another 640 deaths in 2021. California saw over 5,500 deaths related to opioid overdoses in 2020, almost a 70 percent increase from 2019. Wiener said, "Safe consumption sites are a proven model to help people avoid overdose deaths, reduce HIV and hepatitis transmission, reduce syringe litter, and help people access treatment. This legislation isn't about whether we want people to use drugs. Rather, it's an acknowledgment that people are using drugs, and our choice is whether we want to make every effort to help them survive and get healthy." However, according to recent studies and data, these sites do the opposite. A 2020 study from the Alberta government on the province's Safe Consumption Sites (SCS) f0und sites result in increased calls to police, lack of response from police, increased needle debris on public and private property, increased crime, increased overdose deaths, and minimal amounts of users seeking treatment. Last December, former New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Department of Health ignored federal law and announced the opening of legalized heroin injection sites. In 2021, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed legislation aimed at opening the first heroin injection sites in the US. Weiner has backed legislation to put biological males in women's prisons, reduce penalties for some sex offenders, and create a "gender identity" sanctuary for underage children across the country to seek medicalized gender treatment without parental consent. This is the kind of evil we’re dealing with in our government ladies and gentleman. Now, it’s time for the topic that I love, sports! Though, this isn’t really sports related… this has to do with a former football player named Herschel Walker, who is running for the Georgia Senate! So sort of sports related… https://thepoliticalinsider.com/herschel-walker-tells-msnbc-they-need-jesus-after-contributor-says-walker-is-what-gop-wants-from-their-negroes/?utm_source=home-featured Herschel Walker Tells MSNBC They ‘Need Jesus’ After Contributor Says Walker is ‘What GOP Wants From Their Negroes’ Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker slammed MSNBC and suggested they “need Jesus” after political pundit Elie Mystal called him “clearly unintelligent” and “what Republicans want from their negroes.” Mystal’s comments came during a weekend segment on an edition of The Cross Connection on MSNBC, with host Tiffany Cross. Elie Mystal: GOP Likes Herschel Walker Because He Does What He’s Told! Mitch McConnell Pulls Strings- Play 0:00 - 2:23 Elie Mystal’s racist diatribe against Herschel Walker is particularly ignorant when one considers his entire gimmick is to parrot DNC talking points on a pro-DNC network. Ignorance and doing as he’s expected is his entire game. Walker responded to the comments by suggesting the network find Jesus. https://twitter.com/i/status/1554169664313360385 - Play Video Touchdown mr. Walker… Touchdown. I’ll leave it at that.
